Capo: 5th fret
Intro:
Am C Dm F (4x)
(Verse 1)
Am C
His footprints are fading away from the beach
Dm F
We're not a family to pray or to preach
Am C
But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills and
Dm F
now he's at a podium making a speech
Am C
Yesterday night after dark
Dm F
He carefully wrote his remarks
Am C
but everyone said what he put on his page
Dm F
so he threw it away and went straight from the heart
(Chorus)
Am G
I thought this was a party
F
But all my friends are leaving
C
And I still want to play
Em Dm
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
Am G F C
You wrecked me when you stepped out
Am G F
Cause you're the wounded healer
Am G F
And you're supposed to stay
Em E7
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
(Verse 2)
Am C
A year's bottle in a bucket of trash
F Dm
It'll tip over the more that it stacks
Am C
Didn't notice it till now but dad's been moving
F Dm
Slower every time we go play catch
Am C
I'm scared of the day when he'll carry a cane
F Dm
I carry his dream, I carry his name
Am C
And when papa is gone he will never be gone because
F Dm
the sound of our sneeze is the same
Am
I say God bless
G F
I hear your voice in mine
Am
And I want to stop time
G F
Like a carnival ride
Am G F
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it (repeat)
(Chorus)
Am G
I thought this was a party
F
But all my friends are leaving
C
And I still want to play
Em Dm
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
Am G F C
You wrecked me when you stepped out
Am G F
Cause you're the wounded healer
Am G F
And you're supposed to stay
Em E7
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
